This  will be a relatively short alert.

TELL CONGRESS TO PASS FEINGOLD-REID,  VOTE DOWN THE IRAQ SUPPLEMENTAL

You can call toll free at 800-828-0498,  800-459-1887 or 800-614-2803 and ask 
for your own Senators.

The new  Gallup Poll just came out, and lo and behold, as unpopular as still 
sinking  president Bush is, Congress now has a LOWER approval rating.  There 
is a  simple and complete explanation for this.

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DESPISE  COWARDS MORE EVEN THAN A CRIMINAL

We put Democrats in control of  Congress in November on the possibly vain 
hope that the yellow stripes down  their backs were not permanent tattoos (not 
that the Republicans are any  better on this score).  But instead of biting the 
bullet, and getting our  troops the hell out of the monstrously illegal 
occupation of Iraq, all we are  getting from both sides of the aisle are tweaking 
"limp along with the  failure" proposals.

One presidential aspirant was quoted this week as  saying we are 16 votes 
away from ending this brutal insanity.  What a  dismal abdication of leadership!  
They have the votes RIGHT NOW to stop  the funding, period.  Hell, they could 
have a 100-0 majority and they  STILL wouldn't do it on their own, for fear 
of losing even one seat of that  100, for fear of being called insufficiently 
patriotically  blood-thirsty.

It only takes 41 votes to filibuster the supplemental  appropriation.  What 
would that do?  That would EXTEND debate UNTIL  amendments were passed to put 
an END to their abortion of a foreign policy  immediately.  If they had any 
courage whatsoever.  If they weren't  so entirely tone deaf to the will of the 
American people more politely  expressed.

Maybe they need to start hearing from more people calling  them out for being 
such gutless cowards, which is what they are.  Cowards  on bringing out 
troops home.  Cowards on impeachment.  Cowards,  cowards and more cowards!

You may or may not get this message in time  to call about the Feingold-Reid 
Bill SB 1007, which if the truth were known is  just a half-hearted sop to the 
anti-occupation majority of the American  people, which the "leadership" is 
not even sincerely pushing, and even if it  were to pass it would just be 
vetoed.  But call anyway.  Call their  bluff.  Demand they actually pass the bill, 
and not just use it as a  "look we tried and this is why you need to elect 
more Democrats" campaign  photo-op.

And while you are at it, tell them to vote DOWN the  supplemental next week.  
NO supplemental.  Not a penny more to  finance the deaths of our troops in 
Iraq, who don't have the luxury of hiding  in Congressional cloakrooms 
pretending there is nothing really effective they  can do to stop the senseless murder 
and destruction.

Please take action  NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed to be 
ours, and forward  this message to everyone else you know.
